Job description

Software Engineer- Backend Intern (Fall 2026)

As a Software Engineer Intern on the Platform team, you'll design and build services that autonomously control satellites, monitor telemetry for anomalies, and provide real-time situational awareness to keep our fleet safe and online. You'll also be building the core components and services that power the rest of our software organization, enabling every team to move faster and more reliably.

You will be shaping the foundation of software that has to work flawlessly - because our satellites depend on it.

This role will contribute to both our commercial and US government programs.

Internships at Astranis typically last for twelve weeks, and are hourly roles designed for students who are currently enrolled at a four-year university. If you have already graduated from a four-year university, please apply to be an Associate Engineer.

Role
  • Design and build high-performance, reliable, mission-critical software that is used to send commands to space
  • Take full ownership of features, working across backend and infrastructure
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to define software requirements, architectures, and designs
Requirements
  • Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, or equivalent degree
  • Strong proficiency in Python
  • Experience and understanding of databases (Postgres, etc)
  • Experience and understanding of pub/sub and streaming systems (RabbitMQ, Flink, etc)
  • Don't meet them all? Not a problem. Please apply even if you do not meet all these criteria.
Bonus
  • Experience with Kubernetes
  • Experience building fleet management systems
